it generated energy for about 20 years. in 1990, safety concerns prompted the government to order all five reactors to be shut down. crews started the decommissioning process five years later. it took them another ten years to remove all the fuel from the units. and they're still working to extract components like this steam generator. >> translator: we need to thoroughly check whether radiation levels are within standards. we also take great care in monitoring worker's radiation exposure. >> reporter: workers in protective suits use high-pressure water jets to decontaminate components removed from the reactor building. then they transport the parts to a temporary storage site inside the plant. a radiation reading near the site shows 15 per hour. at that level, it would take someone just 20 hours to reach the limit for annual radiation exposure. >> translator: it will take more than 30 years for the components' radiation levels to be lowered. until then, they will be kept here in the interim storm facility. >> reporter: rad
